Putting down the phone, Peter was still in a state of shock and dizziness, but at this moment, Natasha walked in, threw the key chain on the table, and said: "Peter Parker, the car to pick you up is already outside the door.
Well, to avoid suspicion, I can’t go, so take your yellow rat best friend and take office.”
"No, wait a minute, this is too sudden. Why should I... I can't... How can I be the director of SHIELD?! Are you kidding me?" Peter stepped back and said:
"This is ridiculous, how could they let me be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Natasha crossed her arms, looked at him with a smile and said, "Is there a possibility that you are the only one left?"
"I'm the only one left? Do you mean that everyone else died?"
"No, if you think about it carefully, is anyone else really more suitable than you?"
As Peter was thinking, the reality was exactly the same as the scene in his mind, which happened just two days ago.
Nick Fury is dead. At least after multiple confirmations, he is not faking his death. The genetic test of multiple sampling points completely matches. The autopsy results prove that he is the real Nick Fury, and he is really dead.
However, his death does not mean that the storm has subsided, but it means that a bigger storm is coming.
First, who killed him?
Everyone thought it was the military, and even the military thought it was themselves. They all felt that someone from the Tartu faction must have done it, and everyone in the Tartu faction felt that it was their colleagues who did it.
hand.
While they complained about this young man's recklessness, they also thanked him for his recklessness. With SHIELD gone, the power to check and balance the military was reduced.
Congress also knows this. They cannot sit back and watch this situation continue to develop. The Tartu faction has always been radical. They strongly disagree with the system of separation of powers and are ready to launch wars at any time and anywhere to enhance their status. Congress cannot let them succeed.
.
Once a war starts, the entire political system will inevitably undergo a major reshuffle. No one wants to be reshuffled, so the goal of Congress is to maintain stability.
In this case, the position of the director of SHIELD has become key.
Congress hopes that Nick Fury's direct descendants will inherit this position to continue to check and balance the military. They do have the ability to support such people to take office, but the only problem is that none of Nick Fury's direct descendants can take the position.
Coulson died, and Hill disappeared with the information. As for Natasha, she was already called Natasha. Who dares to let her be the director of SHIELD?
Ward and Mark emerged in the later period. One of them was a cold-blooded killer, a typical sniper rifle, and basically had no leadership skills. Moreover, his status in SHIELD was not too high. If he was promoted suddenly, it would be too abrupt.
.
Mark is pretty good. He is an old agent with strong skills, experienced and good resume. But the only problem is that he is a former CIA agent. The consequences of letting the CIA get S.H.I.E.L.D. and letting the military get S.H.I.E.L.D.
it's the same.
There are still a few mutants left, but the crux of the problem lies in the mutants. It is impossible for Congress to immediately promote a mutant to the post after such an incident. This is not extinguishing the fire, but blowing the wind.
After looking for it, Congress put its target on these people from the Avengers.
In their view, these superheroes will not really lead SHIELD, but as long as they have a name, they will have enough time to select a suitable successor as long as they can maintain short-term stability.
.
But these people in the Avengers are not suitable for everyone. First of all, Captain America, Steve is very suitable. People in Congress also know him. Although he will not be biased towards Congress, at least he will not be biased towards the military.
, can be impartial and fair.
At the same time, his abilities are also very strong, especially his publicity ability, which is very suitable for S.H.I.E.L.D. at this stage.
The only problem is that he himself is extremely unwilling.
Steve claimed that as long as he could not find out the truth about Nick Fury's sacrifice, he would never be able to take over SHIELD, and he also said that as long as he took over SHIELD, he would definitely find out all the truth.
Nick has been lying on his left hand and on his right hand for so many years, and not everyone is unaware of it. Even if they don't know that the situation is so serious, they can still hear some rumors.
If Captain America were to be in charge, he would be impartial and very authoritative. Many people would have grown up hearing his legend, so there is no guarantee that they would not be affected by his words, and intelligence work would be impossible.
Not to mention Stark, who is already the person in charge of the Stark Group and the solar system development plan. If there is another S.H.I.E.L.D., it will be a real monopoly of power, which is not in line with the idea of checks and balances in Congress.
Blade Hunter Eric is a vampire, Matt is blind, and the remaining members are either mutants or related to that slimy symbiote, and are basically useless.
At this time, a person appeared in their field of vision, and that was Spider-Man.
If Congress wants to investigate, there is no way they can hide the fact that Spider-Man is Peter Parker. Once they investigate, they will find that this kid has a good background and abilities.
My parents died when I was young, and I grew up in the house of my uncle and aunt. I am an ordinary American working-class family, and I am a native New Yorker. I did very well after high school and was admitted to New York University.
There was no bad record during school. Although he did not actively participate in club activities, he achieved quite good results in scientific research and was considered a relatively valuable knowledge-based talent.
At the same time, Spider-Man is also a relatively positive heroic image, very popular among teenagers, and unlike Captain America, he does not have such influential comments that can influence public opinion.
Generally speaking, the image of Spider-Man is well-received, but not by everyone. He is capable, but not omnipotent. He is of ordinary origin, but being ordinary is the best advantage. In this case, he is a very good character.
The right candidate.
Yes, from the perspective of Congress, this kind of fool can't understand the intricate relationships and huge intelligence work of SHIELD, but this is exactly what they want. Spider-Man is just a transition, the purpose is to
If the military is not allowed to take control, as long as he can hold on for a while, others will naturally take over in the future.
More importantly, appointing Spider-Man as the director will not cause a strong backlash from the military.
Because the military also knows that such a kid with no experience at all and no intelligence work at all can't unify S.H.I.E.L.D., which is equivalent to the pile of treasures still being piled there, but being temporarily kept.
, when it can no longer be delayed, then everyone will have to rely on their own abilities.
Peter, who was treated as a temporary solution, was still confused until he got in the car. He didn't understand at all how he became the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he hadn't even graduated from college.
Pikachu, who was held in his arms, shrugged his nose and said: "I smell a conspiracy. Tell me, after you go over, will you face a hundred and eighty black gun muzzles? Or all kinds of
A trap?”
Peter stroked Pikachu's ears absentmindedly, and said, "I'm not afraid of guns or traps. I have spider sense and can hide away. What I'm afraid of is..."
Peter took a deep breath and said: "I didn't join the club in college just because I'm not good at eye contact. I can't understand their messy hints, and I don't want to think about it..."
"This is what college clubs are like. Then SHIELD, the largest intelligence agency in the world... Oh my god, I feel like I'm about to go to another universe, where the way of thinking and speaking is completely different from mine.
…”
With such an uneasy feeling, Peter still came to the SHIELD base.
He thought that he would encounter all kinds of cold faces and countless troubles, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he came out of the elevator, two rows of special service agents stood neatly to receive him.
The staff member said with a bright smile: "Director, please come this way."
Peter's eyes widened and he repeatedly checked that there was no movement from the spider sensor before he took the first step hesitantly.
The receptionist was a female agent. Peter just came to an office behind her. The receptionist stood at the door and smiled and said to him: "This is your office. You can go in first and wait. Later, this week
The work report will be sent..."
Peter nodded in confusion, walked in, and sat on the chair. He paused for a moment, and then said: "Well, since the situation is like this, then we can only work hard..."
After finishing speaking, he showed a headache expression and said: "I hope these documents will not be more difficult to understand than the thesis materials..."
He took a stack of documents from his left hand and opened it. There was a long list of names and various strange places on it. Peter immediately covered his forehead and said: "What do I want to do? Match them up."
? But how do I know who should go where?"
"Hello, this week's work report has been delivered." Another agent came in. He handed a stack of thin documents to Peter. Peter opened it and looked at it. There were only a few sentences written on it:
"This week's work was successfully completed, all personnel were in place, all work was carried out smoothly, and no unexpected incidents occurred."
Peter raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the work report. Isn't it a bit too simple?"
"Yes, Director, this is not difficult at all. You will be able to get started soon." The agent smiled and said: "The next thing you have to do is wait here, and then sign each document.
The words above."
"But how do I judge whether that document should be signed?" Peter asked.
"This is the work the deputy director has to do. All documents sent to you must be signed." The agent said very seriously.
"Then the enemies lurking here, I mean, Hydra and so on, are we going to capture them? Also, Hill and the others were hunted down before..."
Hearing the word Hydra, the agent's smile trembled, but he quickly said:
"If you want to arrest Hydra, we will launch a special operation. All you need to do is sign the document..."
Peter looked embarrassed, but he didn't know what else he could do. After all, even if he had a high IQ, intelligence work was complicated and complicated, and it would not be possible to sort it out in a short time.
So, in the next two weeks, Peter's job was to sign his name on every document, and then receive a very brief and smooth weekly report.
Spider-Man stood in the center of the whirlpool, watching the people around him coming and going, busy and busy. He seemed to be involved, but he didn't seem to be involved.
Peter was sitting in the cab, repeatedly pressing a button, and the huge machine started running. He didn't know whether the machine was running smoothly, or whether the smooth running had something to do with him.
At the same time, two voices full of doubts and shock came from the Congress Hall and the military conference room:
"SHIELD!! Why are they suddenly so efficient??!!!"
